Live and let live

Why does violence have to mar our every deed ?

Why does war need to be the only solution to peace ?

Why are hatred and enmity the only values we seed?

Love… for our neighbors is what we need

Live and let live is the only prayer we plead

The Crammer

Two ones are two, Two twos are four, Two threes are six,

Aye, I am a crammer, a proud one at that, I tell the skeptics

If you ask me why, I won’t know

If you ask me how , I shall say I dont need to know

Cramming helps me score… more

Cramming helps me frustrate you…all the more

One Evening

“Kaw” crowed the crow to his partner

“Isn’t it a beautiful evening? the air’s so fresh & the sky’s so clear”

“Kaw Kaw”, agreed the partner

“Life has given us yet another reason to cheer”

“Out of my way” bellowed the frustrated fellow

“I have mails to send and deadlines to meet

Meetings to attend & tasks to complete

No time to be patient & slow

My precious time I cannot forego

I have no time for this beautiful evening

Till money dost come, my life can have no meaning”

Who art thou?

Who art thou? who for me, was mercilessly slain

and yet asks me to forgive in a world that survives on strife

Who art thou? who was shown no mercy in pain

and yet asks me to show mercy in a world where violence is rife

God thou are, forgiving and merciful

My Lord thou are, faultless and faithful

For to live now is Christ and to die is gain

The War of the Pigeons

“Onward we shall march”, announced the general to his peers

“They destroyed our abode, now we shall destroy theirs”

“How?” questioned the little soldier

“Their monuments are ugly but unyielding

Their cities crowded but well guarded”

“Chase them away” suggested the Peckers

“hmm” murmured the General

“Build nests into their edifices” suggested the Nesters

“hmmm” responded the General

“Poop shall we?” queried the Bombers

“Our acids will decay their edifices

They will rot in disease with our feces”

“Poop shall we?” inquired the Bombers again

“Poop we shall” confirmed the General

Precious Sleep

Precious sleep precious sleep

Thy last few moments are oh most cherished

Wish thy dreams were the reality to keep

Life in this world would then be so easily accomplished
